FatStacks

Overview

FatStacks is a gritty vintage club kit with small drums and tight organic sound. This kit can set the tone for a range of styles that need an up-front, lively beat. It sounds good for R&B, hiphop, funk, raw drum’n’bass, and even acoustic tracks. With several mic layers to blend to your taste, the sound of the kit can go from clean to gritty with the twist of a knob. Four snare variations and two kick variations keep things interesting.
